This case supplies readers with the chance to examine three distinct leadership styles. Amundsen decided at his crew of only 19 guys based on both proven abilities, including skiing and cold-weather endurance, and his evaluation of how the nominees would work collectively as a team. Amundsen also intended meticulously. He worked with his team to come up with new ways of doing things and translated this learning into comprehensive groundwork for the food and supplies, and learned from the units.
His expedition was certainly far more focused on the singular aim of reaching the South Pole. Scott, by contrast, chosen a team of 65 men and hired a professional skier to train the crew. Nonetheless, he failed to make the skiing lessons mandatory. Shackleton held in middle position in which he participated in inclusive and participative leadership, but still failed to plan as well as Amundsen.
